Visualize the structural formula of each of the following hydrocarbons. which hydrocarbon has a double bond in its carbon skeleton?
(a) c3h8
(b) c2h6
(c) c2h4
(d) c2h2

C₂H₄

Explanation:

A hydrocarbon with a double bond is called an alkene. The general formula for an alkene is CₙH₂ₙ where as the n represents the number of carbons.

Taking your problem as an example:

C₂H₄ has 2 carbons, as indicated by the subscript beside the chemical symbol of Carbon.

if C = 2 then n = 2

CₙH₂ₙ = C₂H₂₍₂) = C₂H₄

the national environmental policy act (nepa) is a united states environmental law that promotes the enhancement of the environment and established the president's council on environmental quality (ceq). the law was enacted on january 1, 1970. to date, more than 100 nations around the world have enacted national environmental policies modeled after nepa.

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.
